On July 8, 1850, a number of gentlemen met in the city of 
Tuscaloosa, and after enthusiastic consultation formed them- 
selves into The Alabama Historical Socikty. A constitu- 
tion, prepared by Dr. Basil Manly, who was the chief promoter 
of the organization, was adopted. Chancellor Alexander 
Bowie was elected President, with a full list of other officials. 
Among the distinguished men who assisted in forming the 
Society were Bishop N. H. Cobbs, Col. A. J. Pickett, Dr. L. 
C. Garland, E. D. King, Esq., Hon. Washington Moody, Dr. 
Joshua E. Foster, J. T. Wallace, Esq., Judge J. J. Ormond 
and Prof. M. Tuomey. 

©hjcrts. 

As declared in the Constitution, "The object of the iSociety 
is to discover, procure, preserve and diffuse whatever may re- 
late to the natural, civil, literary and ecclesiastical history of 
the State of Alabama, and of the States in connection with 
her." 

" The plan of our operations is one of vast magnitude, and 
the materials to be collected of almost endless variety. No 
one department of human research confines our system. It 
covers every subject of the natural history of the State in the 
animal, vegetable, and mineral kingdoms. It spreads its 
wide embrace to receive the record of every important event, 
either past, or now transpiring, in our civil, religious, social 
and individual history," etc., etc. (Executive Committee's 
Report, 1851.) 

Htstorj). 

The first annual meeting was held July 14, 1851, at the 
University of Alabama, and for about ten years, with more or 
less regularity, these meetings were held chiefly during the 
commencements. In 1852 it was incorporated by Act of the 
Legislature. Durmg the four years of the war all work was 
suspended, and many of the papers taken away and destroyed. 
It was not until 1874, under the inspiration of Dr. Joshua H. 
Foster, who had been the first Secretary, that a revival was 
effected. For some time there was great interest, and in this 
period the Alabama Historical Reporter had a brief existence. 



6 THE ALABAMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 

Enthusiasm, however, did not long continue, and recently 
very little has been done except to keep up a nominal organ- 
ization. Excepting the Reporter, which consisted of twenty- 
nine numbers, 1879-1885, the entire issues of the Society 
comprise but seven pamphlets, 1850-1898. 

'" Tttbltmttnn ; Sppnal Itlnrk. 

■ As the publication of work is regarded as the most im- 
portant matter to be accomplished by. the Society, it is the 
intention of the management to use all possible means in this 
direction. The Annual Series, to contain the yearly proceed- 
ings and papers, will be maintained. As soon as possible a 
Miscellaneous Series, to be issued at irregular intervals, and 
to consist principally; of original or special material, will be 
commenced. Competeut persoi^ will be sought out and in- 
duced to undertake the pre pa ration of Reminiscences, County 
and Town Histories, Biographies, (genealogies, and Institu- 
tional Studies. Direct effort' will be made to induce the 
formation of local or special historical societies in various 
parts of the State. Special steps will be taken to secure the 
!if)reparation of histories of the various commands from Ala- 
bama in all wars. Correspondence with Learned and other 
Societies, and Educational Institutions, will be had, inviting 
co-operation and the encouragement of historical work and 
researches among their members and students. Plans will 
also be perfected for ultimately securing a fire proof home for 
the Society and its collections. <i(;;l'j-v.'Ov .b;; ii ; 

Members tvill receive all current pubUdaiions free of 
' &harge. 

L,ibrnrr auri Qlolkrttmxs. 

With a view to increasing the usefulness and value of the 
library of 'the -Society, contributions are earnestly solicited. 
Its collections are nowr deposited by courtesy in the library 
of the University of Alabama. Books and pamphlets, of any 
and every character printed in or about the State, or by Ala- 
bamians, historical books and pamphlets of all kinds, original 
imanuscripts and documents, original historical sketL;hes,maps, 
old newspa[)0r files, and every description of relic, are 
specially desired. The manuscripts and sketches will be pub- 
lished as opportunity is presented; and all other contributions 
acknowledged and preserved. 



THE ALABAMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. 



Since the annual meetin<i-, June 21, 1898, the General As- 
sembly has patrioticall} rallied to the assistance of the So- 
ciety, and an appropriation of two hundred and fifty dollars 
annually, for two years, has been made to aid in the |)ul)lication 
of its transactions and papers. This insures tiie certain issu- 
ance of the projected ])ublication8. The character of the 
work to be done will be a guarantee that this appropriation 
will never be cut off, but in the future will l)e materially in- 
creased. 

^^Ifxbama Htstnri) Olnmmtssitm. 

Another act also was passed to create the Alabama HiMorij 
0'om?«/.s.swn, to consist of five members, its duties in a general 
way being- to make for the use of the next session of the (Jen- 
eral Assembly a full and exhaustive report on the sources and 
materials, manuscript, documentary and record, of the history 
of the State from the earliest times. 

The Governor has appointed the following members: 
Chairman, Thomas M. Owen, Esq., Carrollton; Dr. W. S. 
Wyman, University of Alabama; Col. Sam Will John,^Bir- 
mingham; Peter J.' Hamilton, Esq., Mobile, and Prof. C. C. 
Thach, Ala. Pol. Ins., Auburn. 

The work of this body is most important and will be far 
reaching in its results Its report is to be printed. The 
Governor is then required to present the report to the 
General Assembly, with "a plan for permanently fostering 
historic interest and the preservation of the records, archives 
and history of the State." There can be no doubt as to the 
proper performance of the duties enjoined upon the Commis- 
sion, and it should have the co-operation of every i)er8on in 
the State. 

Appeal. 

Appeal is made to the friends of historical pursuits every- 
where, and to Alabamians in particular, for aid in re-establish- 
ing the Society upon a firm basis. Societies in other States 
are in flourishing condition, having splendid edifices for their 
collections, and are the recipients of large donations in books 
and money. Alabama, with her variety of riches, with a 
people cultivated and ambitious, and a history grand and 
noble, should no longer remain backward but go forward in 
support of the Society as be<;omes her wealth and position.

HIS BXOELLENOY, GOVERNOR JOSEPH F. JOHNSTON, 

Montg-omery: 
"A people who fail to honor the memories of their great men can 
not hope to add to them. We owe it to those coming after us to be 
diligent now, when the survivors are so rapidly passing away, to 
preserve the glorious deeds of the sons of Alabama in the War be- 
tween the States. Organized effort can alone produce effective 
results and for this reason the Historical Society should be fostered 
and strengthened." 

RT. REV. RICHARD H. WILMER, 

Bishop of Alabama, Mobile: 
"I feel a deep interest in the undertaking." 

RT. REV. EDWARD P. ALLEN, Bishop of Mobile: 

"It will give me pleasure to become a member of the Alabama 
Historical Society and to contribute in any waj' in my power to 
further the interests of the Society." 

RT. REV. HENRY MELVILLE JACKSON, 

Assistant Bishop of Alabama, Montgomery: 
"I am very heartily in sympathy with your endeavor, and I beg 
you to enroll me as a member of the Society, and I would have you 
to believe that I am not willing to be merely a member of your So- 
ciety, but a coadjutor in any work you may undertake on these 
lines." 

DR. GEORGE R. FAIRBANKS, 

Historian of Florida, Fernandina, Fla.: 
"I am very much interested in the preservation and publication of 
the historical records relating to our Southern States and am glad 
to see the active interest being taken in your State through your 
Society in the furtherance of this object. I wish I could see a 
similar spirit prevailing in Florida." 

DR. WILLIAM LEROY BROUN, 

President Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn: 
"So far as possible I will be glad to advance the interests of the 
Society." 

DR. J. L. M. CURRY, 

Agent Peabody and the Slater Funds, "Washington, D. C: 

"You do not know how much I am gratified at the resurrection 
of the old Historical Society. She is not dead but sleepeth. I felt 
sure that it would live again under your intelligent zeal and un- 
quenchable historic spirit. I shall be glad to be continued a 
member. " 

HON. JOHN HOLLIS BANKHEAD, M. C, Fayette: 

"Although busily engaged in current business and political 
affairs, I am greatly interested in the complete success of the His- 
torical Society. Its purposes are patriotic. Its demands are so 
small financ-ially that they need embarrass no one. The results 
must fill all our people with pride and satisfaction. "

DR. J. K. PO"WBRS, President University of Alabama: 

"This iB a critical tiiuf in the hietory of the Society. The time 
has come when it mnst do some actual work, and make pnblication 
of that work. It is gratifying to note the promising outlook." 

DR. B. F. MEEK, School of Eng-lish, University of Alabama: 

"I shall be very glad to aid you in any way to promote the in- 
terests of the Alabama Historical Societj'. 

DR. J. H. PHILLIPS, 

Superintendent Public Schools, Bii-mingham: 
"The State should have a strong organization of this character, 
and through the activity of its membership ought to make an in- 
teresting collection of historical papers that would be accessible to 
the student of Ala])ama history." 

MRS. ROBERT CUNNINGHAM, (,u-t MARY SUE 

EVERHART), Birmingham: 
"I assure you that it will give me pleasure to enter into its work 
with the sincere interest I feel." 

HON. A. E. OAFFEE, 

State Senator and Raih-oad Commissioner, Marion: 
"I am profoundly impressed with the noble purposes of the Ala- 
bama Historical Society, and my active sxtpport and co-operation 
may be relied upon." 

MISS LOUISE MANLY, Judson Institute, Marion: 

"I am glad that the Alabama Historical Society is putting forth 
new life. I am happy to join." 

REV. GREENOUG-H WHITE, 
Professor of Church History, University of the South, 
Se-wanee, Tenn.: 

"It will give me pleasure to have my name enrolled upon the list 
of members of the Society. Having contributed a mite to yopr 
local history (Life of Bishop Cobb). I am naturally interested in it, 
and in learning more about it. ' 

MRS. W. M. EASBY-SMITH, Washin^on, D. O.: 

"I shall ever deem it a privilege, as a faithful member of the 
organization to render any service within the limit of my capacity." 

THOMAS M. OWEN, ESQ., Secretary, Carrollton: 

"All Alabamians should belong to the Society. This i.s- true, al- 
though many may never be able to attend its meetings. The conscious- 
ness of having contributed to such a cause is ennobling. The effect 
of membership is not altogether to minister to a demand of the in- 
dividual. It means co-operation, and support of a great movement. 
The publications will be of enduring value and go to all alike; so 
vMle one may never attend the formal meetings, the really valnabk 
part of the Society's 7uork is comtantly athaml on our library shelves."
